Professional
Profile
30 years in the telecommunication industry,
25yrs with a major telecom. Started in procurement, became a splicing
technician, route engineer, then, graduated to an administrative position
as a planning engineer. My duties as a planning engineer were to study
central office serving areas, forecast growth and generate outside plant
projects. These projects were designed to provide the technical methodology
and instructions, place all major backbone facilities and identify future
lateral placements timed to accommodate future service demands. These
projects were designed to identify the most effective method, considering
technology and current and future cost impacts. After project approval,
project management consisted of construction scheduling, budget and
progress monitoring. Outside plant projects are commonly subject to
restrictions and regulatory guidelines mandated by State and local
municipalities. Planning and coordinating schedules with private
contractors, government entities, property owners and other utilities, can
be especially challenging for a project manager. Building relationships and
networking is a skill that comes natural to me and is essential to the
success of the project. Though most of my experiences and training is in
the telecom industry, the same principles apply to projects of all kinds.
Recently, I have been working as an OSP engineer for different telecom
organizations. Working with different proprietary computer applications has
never been a problem.

Honorable
accomplishments
Mountain House: Planned and designed outside plant facilities
for Mountain house; a new township located on the outskirts of Tracy, Ca.
The project consisted of planning the placement of all underground and
aerial structures, huts, and electronic equipment to service an anticipated
20,000 home community.
Hayward undergrounding: Planned and designed a project to underground AT&T facilities on
a major thruway mandated by the city of Hayward Ca. Designed new
underground paths, utilized joint trenches and existing plant. Identified
new underground placements, cutover sequences and removal of aerial copper
and fiber cables.
Sonora relocation: AT&T mandated to relocate all facilities
due to a Caltrans project to construct a bypass for a state highway.
Project located in a rural mountainous area in Sonora. This relocation
called for new underground and aerial placements, moving manhole locations.
Many customers were in isolated locations and had to be fed from different
directions requiring pole placements in dense trees and brush.
